Surely if it's a privacy issue then it already is though? People are posting in the mod's thread and not explicitly asking to have it displayed that they clicked install, but it nevertheless still is. It's rather a small step up to a list, surely? If for "reasons" (ahem) the user doesn't want the author to know they're using their modification then they're unlikely to have their forum linked in their profile so there's nothing connecting the modification to their forum without them wanting it so.
I'm not disagreeing, I'm sure you're right. I'm just not seeing the significance in the difference.
